My friend got one a few days ago.
I noticed that the NFC chip sticks out the back? Is kind of putting me off.
Ah great. Thanks.It's just a sticker to let you know where the NFC contact point is. You can take it off if you want
most people don't see the Note as a replacement, and it's not even a consideration for some people. just like many Note II owners don't see the upcoming GS4 as a replacement.
Wouldn't really classify the Note 2 replacing the S3, completely different line of phones. Will give you the one x plus though, atleast there was a fairly substantial gap between the two models (one x announced in feb while the one x+ was announced in Ocotber)
Good to hear about 2014. I kinda expected this sort of strategy last year, you know getting through the pipeline of SE, but not this year. I suppose, though, if this new phone will be simply marketed as Xperia Z plus it might be ok. What won't be ok is if there is yet another flagship phone that will have a completely different design etc for H2. Hopefully not.It is a weird strategy for sure.
It will be weird to have three flagship phones all covering the same ground on the market all at once, but that's where we're headed. I wasn't very clear when I said replaces, I actually meant replaces for marketing and promotional purposes. The Z/ZL will still be on the market.
Sony's strategy has been all over the place this year, but they are all talking about one flagship per year for 2014 so maybe this is just the final time that Sony will pursue such an idiotic strategy.
I was going to pick one up to replace my Desire HD but since reading about how the JDI panels are better I may just hold off for a while and deal with my current phone for the time being.
I don't mind the different processors but since I will be using this phone for a few years, I want the best display that I can get.
Buddy at work got it on the weekend. Had a little play with it this morning. Whats with the screen? It doesnt seem as sharp to me as the HTC or Samsung flagship phones. No pop in the colours!!
I wouldn't say that Note 2 is a GS3 replacement either but I was trying to point out that a better version of a product comes out or is announced within 5/6 months. I have to say that announcing Z's succesor is very early,even though Sony haven't officially announced it. It's just an unfortunate leak.
My phone carrier's web site tells me I'll be eligible for an upgrade on March 12th, I was thinking that since the Xperia Z is available here now I'd look into whether I can upgrade to one.
My current phone is an LG Optimus 2X which hasn't even officially gotten ICS yet (though there have been some leaks), but even with the leaked firmware there are still some issues with it so I'd really like something that performs better and has less bugs.

Well you guys are finally getting to pay the same price as us people in the Europe.Might as well have saved their money and resources and not even bothered with a US release. No carrier partner(s) and $760 US Dollars is dead in the water.
759 dollars is considered expensive? That's the normal price for any high end smartphone in Europe. You guys are spoiled
Listed on www.shopblt.com though at a very reasonable price.

Isn't ZL the non water proof model?
Damn, I was looking forward to the water proof model. I hope that gets release here.right.
I'm sorry I don't know I just stumbled upon it...maybe our american friends could clear things up...?Isn't ZL the water proof model?

Edit: Sorry for the double post.
Just received the news that my Xperia Z is on its way from HK. My girlfriend's parents bought it for me, unlocked, 420euros. Pretty excited!
How the hell can the same product be that much cheaper in some places is beyond me. In europe I saw prices of 800euros. US? 750$. Internet? no luck finding something below 700euros...
I'll post some impressions as soon as I get it.
It's to do with currency and considerations for each region, to be honest.

Where did you get this info? Is it only available with ATT? The Sonystyle store only shows the Xperia ZL.If you live in the US, the Xperia Z is about $620. Works well with ATT HSPA as well, I get about 8-10 down.
